This week we have been learning the ‘ea’ sound and our new common words are ‘some’ and ‘come’. We wrote ‘ea’ words on leaves, practised reading ‘ea’ words playing Roll & Read and playing an ‘ea’ words memory game, wrote ‘ea’ words on our whiteboards, played ‘A Day by the Sea’ on Education City and wrote ‘ea’ words and sentences in our literacy jotters.
For writing this week we made posters for our own flying inventions! We looked at features of a poster and made sure that our posters included a title, a picture and a short sentence. We also tried to make our posters colourful.
In Numeracy & Maths we have been learning to order numbers to 20 and find numbers one more/one less with numbers to 20. We played ordering games on the laptops and smartboard, ordered our number pebbles from largest to smallest, played larger/smaller number games with dominoes, found numbers one more/one less than and worked with a partner to cut out numbers to 20 and put them in the correct order. Next we will be looking at finding two more/two less than with numbers to 20.
We hope that everyone is enjoying the snow and keeping safe and warm.

Here are some suggested activities for the children to do if the weather continues:
• Practise reading, saying & writing the ‘ea’ sound. Have a go at writing ‘ea’ words such as ‘read’, ‘seat’, ‘mean’ and ‘cheap’.
• Although we haven’t started learning the ‘igh’ sound in class, practise reading, saying & writing the ‘igh’ sound. Have a go at writing ‘igh’ words such as ‘light’, ‘night’ and ‘fright’.
• Practise reading common words in the sounds/words tubs. Have a go at writing the common words.
• Read your reading book. Draw a comic strip of the beginning, middle and end of your story.
• Practise ordering numbers to 20 and beyond. If you google ‘Topmarks’ and then type in ‘Caterpillar Ordering’ then you will find an online ordering game.
• Practise finding numbers one more/one less than with numbers to 20. You could use a number line for support. Although we haven’t started this in class, you could find numbers two more/two less than with numbers to 20.
• We will be learning about money after Easter so you could practise identifying coins to £2.
• Make a poster about a method of transport and try to include a title, picture and short sentence. Can you make your poster colourful?
• With adult help, use the internet to research about a method of transport. Put in key words to find information. You could also look for images of transport from the past
